Helio Resource Corp. (TSX-V: HRC) ("Helio" or the "Company") announces that it has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to extend the expiry date of 1,998,500 share purchase warrants from December 23, 2005 to December 23, 2006. The exercise price of the warrants remains unchanged at $0.50.

Early Expiry

The warrant extension application also requests Exchange approval for an earlier expiry term if, at any time prior to November 17, 2006 for 10 consecutive trading days the closing price of the common shares of the Company exceeds $0.65 per share (the "Triggering Event"). Upon a Triggering Event, the term of the warrants will be automatically amended and shortened to a period of 30 days. The 30 day period will commence seven calendar days after the Triggering Event. The warrant holder must exercise within this earlier time limit or the warrant will expire. Both the extension of the outstanding warrants and early expiry are subject to the approval of the TSX-Venture Exchange.
